It's important to note that these are adaptations of Poe's work, and not transcriptions into graphic form. Some of the stories are quite brilliant in their artwork. "Usher," for example, is fascinating and deconstructed, which fits with the theme of the story. "The Raven" is also done well, as is "Mr. Valdemar, " which was a story unfamiliar to me. The downside is that oftentimes the stories feel a bit rushed, to their detriment. "Rue Morgue" is one such tale, and it was quite disappointing. Still, most of the anthology is strong and well done, but should not be a substitute for Poe. Read these with a thought to the graphics and what they add/interpret on the text, and then read the originals and see for yourself.
